The effects of Water Temperature

Fish are cold blooded, which means their metabolism is strongly influenced by the temperature of their surrounding environment. Fish want to stay comfortable. Consequently, even a small change or break will cause fish to move from one location to another.

In general, this behavior varies for each species and place, so we can not specify an ideal water temperature, however as a general rule we will try to avoid the temperatures abnormally cold in summer and too warm in winter. Remember, look for the comfort zones and you will find the fish.

Water temperature plays an important role in the behavior of fish. When the water is cold, fish are lethargic and inactive, and the same happens if the water is too hot.

At this moment the current water temperature in Nuku Hiva Island is -. The average water temperature in Nuku Hiva Island today is -.

NOTICE

Our prediction algorithm for water temperature is in development phase. Although in most places we get a value very close to the actual sea water temperature, it may not be accurate in certain areas. Please, use with caution.

Significant wave height

It is normal for waves to vary in height from one to the next. To give you an idea of the range of waves to expect at a given time, we consider the significant wave height as the average height of the highest third of the waves in the open sea.

The significant wave height provides an estimation of wave heights recorded by a trained observer from a fixed point at sea because we tend to pay more attention to the larger waves.

Tidal coefficient

22 FEBRUARY 2019

The tidal coefficient today is 100. With such a high coefficient we will have big tides and the currents will also be very evident. At noon the tidal coefficient drops to 94. The day ends with a tidal coefficient of 87.

The heights today are -0.2m, 1.4m, -0.1m and 1.4m referenced to Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW).

We can compare these levels with the maximum high tide recorded in the tide tables for Nuku Hiva Island which is of 1.7m and a minimum height of -0.3m.

TIDE TABLE

FEBRUARY 2019

All the times are generated in local time in French Polynesia.

The heights are expressed in meters referenced to Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW). It is the average of the lower low water height of each tidal day observed over the official time segment over which tide observations are taken and reduced to obtain mean value.

The times reflected in the tidal table for Nuku Hiva Island are predictions valid as references for sports fishing in areas near the coast of Nuku Hiva Island. THEY ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR NAVIGATION. Remember that to practice any activity at sea like diving, windsurfing and fishing from a boat or underwater fishing should always be consulted with the official tide tables of the port of Nuku Hiva Island.

RISING AND SETTING OF THE MOON
NUKU HIVA ISLAND

TODAY, FRIDAY, 22FEBRUARY 2019

Today we begin the day with the moon already visible in the sky, so first we will see the moonset, which will take place at 8:23h at 268° west. Eventually, the moon will rise again in the east (95°) at 20:45h.

The lunar transit is the time at which the moon crosses the local meridian (Nuku Hiva Island, 140.1° W) at 2:10h.

SOLUNAR ACTIVITY
NUKU HIVA ISLAND

TODAY, FRIDAY, 22FEBRUARY 2019

SOLUNAR ACTIVITY: LOW

According to the solunar theory, today is a bad day for fishing, the fish activity forecast is low, however, this is just a chance so we encourage you to take your rod and try it during solunar periods.

The solunar periods indicate the best times of day for fishing in Nuku Hiva Island. The major periods correspond to the lunar transit (passage of the moon over the meridian) and the opposing lunar transit and last approximately 2 hours. The minor periods begin with the rising and setting of the moon and its duration is approximately 1 hour.

When the solunar period coincides with sunrise or sunset, we can expect more activity than initially planned. These peak periods are reflected in green. We additionally point out in the chart the periods of greatest activity during the year with a big blue fish on the period bar + info
